The 1940s aerial image shows the barn is no longer roofed by this time; walls appear to have survived to a substantial height. By the time of the later the century aerials, tree growth / vegetation in this area obscures the remains.

Ruins of the former barn are shown on the modern mapping. Unclear how much survives.
